A slick design.

It’s hard to imagine that Shimano could improve upon the shifting performance of the Dyna-Sys 10-speed chain, but with the CN-HG95 XT 10-Speed Chain they’ve managed to reduce friction by roughly 60 percent. The CN-HG95’s directional/asymmetrical plate design allows the chain to glide effortlessly across cogs and chainrings, respectively. The new Sil-Tec surface treatment provides a quieter and cleaner ride while also increasing chain life.

Great chain at a great price. Threw this on after upgrading to a 1x crank with a Wolf Tooth 42 tooth cog in the rear. The chain fits perfectly on the narrow-wide chain ring and I have yet to drop a chain since the conversion.

Chizzain.

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I've run Shimano XT HG-95 chains on all my geared rides, and most recently, I put one on my single speed build. So far, so good, no issues whatsoever. Since most rides these days are coming out with 11 speeds, the 10 speed chains seem to be losing popularity, thus their price keeps coming down! If you're still riding 10 gears, or SS, definitely pick one up!

Solid so far

Familiarity: I've used it several times

I used this for a 1x10 Shimano crank/cassette/derailleur set-up. Sizing was pretty straight forward and the chain has been working well through the dry stuff as well as wet and muddy. The crank is a wide-narrow type (Wolf Tooth) and this has not dropped nor have I had any shifting issues.
